"In the past couple of decades, scientific research has shed unprecedented light on why we eat what we eat. This engaging and accessible account by a leading neuroscientist has something for everyone: consumers trying to make their way through the supermarket, parents worried about their children’s fads and fancies, and all of us who are curious about the causes underlying the dozens of food choices we make every day."-- Rachel Laudan, author of Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History
